Simon Lomas Email & Phone Number

I am an enthusiastic senior technical leader, working within different areas of software organisations to ensure business goals are secured. I thrive on being involved in a making a difference and a contribution towards successful software projects.Having a history of driving next generation solutions from their initial vision to taking to market, I love identifying the correct technical solution and working with organisations to ensure effective and efficient development.Recent examples include transitioning video OTT products from traditional server based enterprise software to a DevOps, fully cloud, operated aaS (as a service) solution.Throughout my career I have sought out experience in many different roles within innovative software solutions; with foundations as a software developer, to running large software engineering teams, leading product management and leading large architectural teams. In parallel I have maintained close customer engagements, from presales to collaborative innovation, ensuring relevance to programme success.Whilst enjoying taking on increasingly senior leadership roles, I am still passionate about ‘digging in’ when required and getting my hands dirty; I think maintaining close links and involvement is critical to ensuring correct judgment and direction.Specialities: working on technically challenging projects in environments where change is necessary, to take solutions to the next level of success.
